So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

"Boss, let me get the pot." Sui He, wearing a cotton jacket, stood at the door of the blacksmith shop, pulled his hands out of his sleeves, and exhaled.

White mist appeared in Suihe's hand, bringing a little warmth.

"Are you there? I'll get it for you right away." The blacksmith took out a round object from the wall and handed it to Sui He.

"Little girl, what are you making this for? It's too shallow. It can't be used for cooking or frying." The blacksmith asked curiously. He hadn't asked what the pot was used for last time.

"This is a pot, used for grilling meat." Sui He ordered a grill pan that can be used for grilling meat, which is specially used for grilling meat. The stove has been ordered long ago. In winter, he will light a stove of charcoal and prepare some pork belly to grill meat.

"Barbecue? What kind of meat can be grilled on this iron plate?" The blacksmith shook his head. He didn't know what this little girl was thinking. She always had these weird ideas.

Sui He put the baking tray in his hand into the basket and headed towards Tongren Restaurant.

As the year draws to a close, there are more and more pedestrians on the road and more vendors setting up stalls. There are not many vegetables in winter, and most of them are seasonal vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and green vegetables.

"Shopkeeper Li" Sui He saw Shopkeeper Li from a distance and greeted him.

Shopkeeper Li, who was watching at the door, heard someone calling him. He turned back to see that it was a little girl, so he turned around. He didn't know the girl, so it shouldn't be someone calling him.

While I was thinking, I suddenly saw the little girl slowly walking in front of me and looking at me with a smirk on her face.

Shopkeeper Li glanced at Sui He, then looked around, and confirmed that the girl was looking for him. He could not help but look at her carefully, and then he found that the girl looked more and more familiar.

"Are you Chen Suihe?" Shopkeeper Li finally recognized Suihe and exclaimed, "Why are you dressed as a woman?"

"What do you mean I am a man dressed as a woman? I am a man..."

Sui He was almost tongue-tied and almost said that he was originally a man, so he quickly changed his words, "Pah... What nonsense, I am originally a woman, and I wore men's clothes before because I had no choice."

It's no wonder that Manager Li didn't recognize her. Suihe used to dress like that, wearing shorts and a man's clothes.

Suihe now wears a floral jacket, a pleated skirt, and two small buns on her head, with two small yellow silk flowers tied on them.

The bangs were also let down, and no matter who saw it, no one would mistake this fair and tender girl for the tomboy Sui He from the past.

"I see." Shopkeeper Li said with a smile, "I was wondering why she looked so familiar, it turned out to be Miss Suihe. I'm still a little uncomfortable with her changing into women's clothes."

Sui He felt a little embarrassed by what he said, "Manager Li, please stop making fun of me. I came here to ask you if the things I asked you to prepare are ready."

"Is this the pot you asked the blacksmith to deliver last time?" Shopkeeper Li touched his chin. "It's ready, just waiting for you to come over. But that pot is so strange, how do you use it?"

"Yes, that's the one. Let's go in and talk about it," Sui He followed Manager Li into the restaurant. Sui He walked to the kitchen with ease. Everyone in the kitchen looked at the girl who came in with surprise.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Li was following behind, he didn't say much.

Sui He cleaned the pot and put the burnt charcoal in the boiler. It was cold recently and restaurants had burnt charcoal ready. It was convenient for Sui He.

Pour clean water into the pot, throw in a few slices of ginger and garlic, and add some onions. When the pot is boiling, Sui He prepares the slices of meat.

"Suihe, what are you doing?" Shopkeeper Li was a little unsure of what Suihe was trying to do, so he walked around the pot curiously.

"Let's make hot pot. You'll know in a moment." Sui He said nothing more. It happened that the kitchen sent a piece of mutton today.

Sui He sliced ​​the mutton into thin slices, and then used the seasonings from the kitchen to prepare two bowls of sauce. Knowing that Shopkeeper Li couldn't eat spicy food, Sui He only put a little bit of it in his bowl.

When the water in the pot boiled, put the cut meat in. The thin meat rolled twice in the pot and soon cooked. Sui He picked up a piece with a serving chopstick and put it in the dipping sauce plate: "Manager Li, come and try it, how is it?"

"Let me try it." Shopkeeper Li took the bowl, blew it carefully, and put it into his mouth: "Hmm?" Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up. After taking a bite of the meat, he felt physically and mentally relaxed. A stream of heat emanated from his body, dispelling the cold.

"Not bad. Eating this in such a cold weather warms me up." Shopkeeper Li put a few pieces of meat into the pot.

Several chefs gathered around and tasted the meat in the pot, praising it highly.

"How is it?" Sui He raised his eyebrows: "Tell me, can our restaurant sell this thing?"

"What do you mean?" Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up and he walked around the pot twice.

"I understand. I'll do as you say. I've just been worried these past few days, and you've given me a great gift." Shopkeeper Li understood Sui He's meaning, and his frown relaxed. He ate several mouthfuls in a row, then ordered someone to order a boiler, and try to get it back as soon as possible.

It's winter now, people don't want to go out, and the dishes get cold too quickly. At this time, most dishes are cooked with lard. Lard is fragrant, but it will solidify when it gets cold, and the solidified lard is not delicious. In addition, the popularity of tofu has gone down, and the business of the store has also declined a lot recently.

The pot sent by Suihe just solves this problem. This pot is small and convenient to serve on the table. You don’t need to fry the dishes. You can just add some soup and rinse them.

"And this one." Sui He took out the baking tray from the basket and demonstrated it. Shopkeeper Li was amazed.

"It would be nice to invite two good friends to have a hot meal this winter." Shopkeeper Li looked up and down at the baking tray.

"I really want to put your head on mine so I can feel the brain of a young man," Shopkeeper Li joked with a smile.

Sui He was so scared that he quickly hugged his head and said, "Don't scare me, I'm timid."

“Hahahahahaha.” After resolving the issues that had been weighing on his mind recently, Shopkeeper Li felt relaxed. “I was just kidding. How can a person still be alive without a head? I can’t bear to part with your little head. Should we sign the contract as before?”

"Sure." Sui He nodded. She was just providing a skill, which didn't require much effort, and she could get a lot of money every month. She already had quite a bit in her coffers. "Manager Li, I have something to do. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Oh? It's rare that you still have something that I can help you with? Tell me, I will definitely help you if I can," Shopkeeper Li asked curiously.

"Shopkeeper Li, please stop teasing me."

Sui He discussed with Manager Li for a while, then stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Sui He asked for a piece of mutton, which she had not eaten in the kitchen just now. It was rare to have a piece of mutton, so she wanted to take it back to eat mutton hotpot with her grandparents.

After leaving Tongren Restaurant, Suihe went to the pharmacy and bought some star anise and bay leaves. These spices are only available in pharmacies and are not sold anywhere else.

The New Year is coming soon, we must stew some braised meat
